Fish oil supplements should be something which is part of each of our daily diets. The reason is simple; we don抰 consume enough of the omega-3 fatty acids, which contain essential nutrients. Ensuring you consume enough omega 3 whether through eating fish or taking fish oil supplements has seen to have many health benefits.
However when choosing which brand of fish oil supplements to buy, it can be difficult to choose the right one. Here are some tips to help you pick the right one:
?Pharmaceutical grade ?This type of high grade fish oil will be of a very high concentration meaning you will receive a higher potency of both EPA and DHA. The label should state whether or not it is pharmaceutical grade.
?Read the label ?An obvious tip, however something which many people ignore. The main point on the label is the amount of EPA and DPA contained within the oil. As an estimated guide many recommend to take a daily dose of combined EPA and DPA of over 1000mg. This means if the label states 300mg EPA and 200mg DPA that is a combined total of 500mg. In this case you would need to take at least 2 doses to reach 1000mg. (if you need more information or concerned about fish oil doses you should seek advice from your doctor.)
?Fish Burps ?Whether you like it or not consuming fish oil is going to have a fishy taste and will most likely cause an fishy aftertaste. If you hate the taste of fish, you are best looking for supplements with an enteric coating. This will help with the burping and aftertaste.
?Capsules or liquid ?The most popular are the softgel capsules; however the liquid will provide more mg or EPA and DPA. Many people have different views on which they prefer and for me I like the liquid. You can buy some Carlson Liquid Fish Oil which has a hint of lemon making a much better tasting supplement. You can also add the liquid oil to your food, which is great if you want kids to take it without them knowing.
Many health professionals recognise the positive effect a good quality fish oil can have on our health and highly recommend we ensure enough omega 3 are consume in our daily diets. If you want expert advice, why not seek your Doctors advice on which fish oil brand they recommend and what dosage you should be taking.
